Romans 6:17-21
17But 1thanksG5485 be to GodG2316 that 2though you were slavesG1401 of sinG266, you becameG5219 obedientG5219 from the heartG2588 to that 34formG5179 of teachingG1322 to whichG3739 you were entrustedG3860, 18and after being 5freedG1659 from sinG266, you becameG1402 slavesG1402 to righteousnessG1343. 196I am speakingG3004 7inG442 humanG442 termsG442 becauseG1223 of the weaknessG769 of your fleshG4561. For justG5618 8as you presentedG3936 9the partsG3196 of your body as slavesG1400 to impurityG167 and to lawlessnessG458, 10resultingG1519 inG1519 further lawlessnessG458, soG3779 nowG3568 presentG3936 11your body’s partsG3196 as slavesG1400 to righteousnessG1343, 12resultingG1519 inG1519 sanctificationG38.
20For 13whenG3753 you were slavesG1401 of sinG266, you were freeG1658 in relation to righteousnessG1343. 21ThereforeG3767 whatG5101 1415benefitG2590 were you thenG5119 16derivingG2192 from the things of whichG3739 you areG1870 nowG3568 ashamedG1870? For the outcomeG5056 of thoseG1565 thingsG1565 is 17deathG2288.
